Chapter 139 I Want All the Handsome Men in the World

When Yan Nanfei and the other two sat down to eat, Zhang Qingfu suddenly rushed in, panting heavily.

"Qingfu, what's wrong?" Yan Nanfei and the others quickly stood up and walked towards him.

Yan Nanfei sounded very nervous, thinking that something had happened to Zhang Daya.

But she didn't ask. What if it wasn't Zhang Daya who got into trouble? Wouldn't that be awkward?

"Sister Nanfei, brother-in-law, I'm back from the street!"

Qingfu finished speaking and was panting heavily again. Yan Nanfei quickly asked Fengshan to pour him a glass of water.

Qingfu accepted the drink, downed it in one gulp, and then continued with the second half of his sentence!

"The government has posted a notice that there is no need to fight!" Qingfu said, "Because the emperor agreed to cede territory to sue for peace, those strong men who were conscripted last time will be released and sent home, provided that they pay three hundred taels of silver, otherwise they will have to be conscripted again."

The most outrageous thing was that, because ceding territory to sue for peace would result in the loss of a large number of cities and money, the emperor actually demanded that every household and every person pay a poll tax of five hundred taels of silver, supposedly to compensate for the losses from ceding territory to sue for peace. If they couldn't pay, they would be arrested and imprisoned!

Hearing the words "ceding territory to sue for peace" was already shocking enough for Ye Nanfei and his group!

But what happened next was even more shameless!

Each person has to pay five hundred taels of silver, that's absolutely outrageous!

Yan Nanfei seemed to have already foreseen the impending collapse of this dynasty.

My mother specifically asked me to tell you: "Our family savings can only cover the cost of one more person's payment, so if you can't afford to pay for the rest of the people, you'd better pack your bags and run away."

Yan Nanfei wondered, where could he possibly run off to?

But what's most heartwarming is that Zhang Daya genuinely cares about them.

Yan Nanfei first expressed his gratitude to Zhang Daya and the others for their kindness: "Qingfu, on behalf of the four of us, I would like to sincerely thank you and your mother."

"Secondly, we can still afford it. As for your family's two shares of one thousand taels, I will pay for them. Your mother has worked hard all these years to earn money, and it's not easy for her. Besides, your family has helped us so much."

Upon hearing Yan Nanfei's words, Qingfu breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body instantly relaxing.

He wasn't relieved because Yan Nanfei was going to pay a thousand taels for them.

It's because Yan Nanfei can come up with the money for all four of them, so they won't have to go to jail!

"Sister Nanfei, there's no need," Qingfu said. "My mother just wants to see you all safe and sound."

Although Qingfu refused, Yan Nanfei had already made up his mind that he would pay the one thousand taels on behalf of the mother and son.

"By the way, where do we pay the poll tax?" Yan Nanfei asked curiously.

After all, it's best to pay the fine as soon as possible for something that could land you in jail.

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"Go to the government office to pay the money," Qingfu said. I had just returned by oxcart. "Sister Nanfei, why don't you come to town with me now? The sooner we pay the money, the sooner we can have peace of mind."

Yan Nanfei thought the same way: "Everyone should go back and bring their household registration documents. Let's go pay and sign now."

Yan Nanfei didn't even need to think; he knew that for such matters, one must bring their household registration to the government office to sign and affix their seal.

No one dared to delay such a serious matter. Yan Nanfei said, "Fengshan, you carry Huatuo back to his house to get the household registration. Linfeng, you also hurry back. Let's make the most of this time."

Yan Nanfei looked at Qingfu: "Qingfu, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you go back and get your mother's and your household registration?"

Qingfu patted his chest: "This morning my mother and I were thinking of buying a shop, so we brought our household registration with us, and we have already paid one thousand taels."

What? They've already paid a thousand taels?

Yan Nanfei hadn't expected such a fast speed.

"Okay, then wait for us. We'll set off as soon as everyone arrives." Yan Nanfei was thinking to himself that he would deliver a gold bar to Zhang Daya's house tonight.

It wasn't that Yan Nanfei was stingy; he only gave away one gold bar out of so many.

The problem is that Zhang Daya has no space. Having a lot of wealth makes it easy to expose, but having only a little bit of wealth makes it easy to hide.

There's no need to worry about bad people targeting them, mother and child.

Yan Nanfei and his group hurriedly headed to Qingshan Town.

Before setting off, they even struck the large gong under the banyan tree to inform the villagers of the new notice.

However, very few villagers could come up with such a large sum of money. Their cries echoed through the heavens and earth once again, and they hurriedly went home to pack their bags and run away.

As for where they ran off to, nobody knows.

Because no matter where they run, there's a 99.9% chance they'll be caught by the officers and soldiers.

Unless they take the mountain route, climb into the mountains and hide there, never to come out again.

When Yan Nanfei and his group arrived in the town, it was already in complete chaos.

Countless ordinary people, with their families in tow, tried to rush out of the city gates.

However, the county magistrate had already dispatched troops to guard the city gates, so no one could escape.

Not even a fly can get out.

A long queue had already formed in front of the government office.

There were probably three teams, but the queue was still very long.

Zhang Daya's pork is sold out.

She squatted at the entrance of the county government office, waiting for Yan Nanfei to arrive.

Because Zhang Daya believed that if she had five hundred taels left, she could only save one person.

Then this person must be Yan Nanfei.

Fengshan, Linfeng, and Huatuo will definitely not compete with Yan Nanfei for them.

But when Zhang Daya saw that they had all arrived, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Did Qingfu, that unlucky kid, even explain things clearly to them before letting the three of them run away?

Zhang Daya frowned and walked towards them with a fierce expression, or rather, towards Qingfu.

Just as she was about to hit him, Yan Nanfei quickly spoke up: "Auntie Daya, don't be angry. Qingfu has told us everything. I still have money, enough for the four of us."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daya's eyes widened in surprise!

Last time Yan Nanfei said she bought the largest mansion in Qingshan Town for over five hundred gold bars, and now she still has so much silver?!

This time, it was Zhang Daya's turn to be shocked. Just how many gold bars did Yan Nanfei's deceased parents leave him?!

But now is not the time to think about that: "If that's the case, then that's great!"

Zhang Daya swallowed hard. If Yan Nanfei and the others really didn't have that much money, Zhang Dajia was planning to take them to North Street to escape through a dog hole!

From initially selling pork door-to-door to eventually setting up a fixed stall, Zhang Daya became intimately familiar with every corner of Qingshan Town.

Finding a loophole to escape from was not a problem for her at all.

However, this is a very dangerous move, and she will only be soft-hearted towards Yan Nanfei and the others.
